Journalism
[edit]Early career
[edit]He was interviewed by the New York Stock Exchange to provide insight into the IPO of Birkenstock.[3] His reporting has also taken him to cover the rise of the cowboy hat in Republican fashion surrounding the Trump 2024 Campaign,[4] and the boom in t-shirts depicting Trump raising his fist after the failed attempted assassination just days after its occurrence.[5]
The Men's Fashion Book
[edit]The Men's Fashion Book was published in 2021 with Phaidon.[2] Gallagher describes the process through which the book was developed.
Although the book is encyclopaedic in nature, the style and approach of the book has been praised by critics: "the method used by Gallagher starts from the relationship between the individual and the fashion object within a social context".[6]
